Chapter 3: The whereabouts of Jade

Yun Zi's heart jumped suddenly, and she seemed to have some bad premonitions in her heart, Li Mansion must be searching for it now, although it is also a lot of distance from the capital, it is inevitable that it is not appropriate for her to go out rashly like this, "Bingyu, Huaying, go and get the jade girl back!" ”

Five hours later, Bingyu and Hua Ying returned. "Master, there is no whereabouts of the jade girl in Yuzhou City!" The Yun family has its own intelligence network in Luoying City, which is not very powerful, but it is not difficult to find an ordinary woman, unless...... The people are no longer in the city.

And Cuiyu grew up in the Li Mansion since she was a child, and she has nowhere else to go except the capital, thinking of this, Yun Zi frowned, if this Jade really returned to the capital, I am afraid that it will only be more auspicious. Yun Zi hesitated, but still repaired the book and went to the capital.

In the mansion of the eldest princess of the capital, Yun Jingyan and Zhao Qiyu were teasing the little daughter Zhao Yuning, who had just completed the moon in the cradle, in the courtyard, the little girl's cheeks were red and smiling, revealing two cute little pear vortices. "Madam, look at Ning'er, it really has the charm of her mother, it really gets cuter and more beautiful the longer she gets." Yun Jingyan gently put his arms around his wife's shoulders and said with a smile. "Flim Flam! A child who is only a month old can see something. Li Qiyu smiled and slapped his hand away.

A carrier pigeon with pure white feathers stopped in front of the two, and Yun Jingyan reached out to let the carrier pigeon stop in the palm of his hand. He took out the bamboo tube tied to its feet, burned it with fire, and soaked it in water before opening it.

"It's my cousin's letter, I haven't seen my cousin for a few days, but I said I want to come to the capital?" Zhao Qiyu opened her mouth gently, with a little smile between her eyebrows, only the cousin's ghost girl's letterhead was so exquisitely designed, only with this special method can it be opened, if you take it directly by hand, the letter paper will be damaged and turn into a puddle of water.

"It's not." Yun Jingyan shook his head, his expression a little more serious, "There are some things to entrust to us." ”

Zhao Qiyu took the letter and glanced at it, "It's just to find someone in the capital, what's so difficult." What worries Ayan? ”

Yun Jingyan hesitated to speak, "Madame doesn't know, the youngest son of Li Shangshu's family in the city has disappeared recently, and the jade that Yun Zi is looking for happens to be the maid in Li Shangshu's family who disappeared with Little Master Li. I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with Xiao Yunzi, so let's keep a low profile and send someone to inquire secretly. ”

Ye Qi and Ye Li were walking on the street, thinking about how to check. In front of the Limin Rice Grain Store, two middle-aged men were discussing something in a low voice. Ye Qi's ears were sensitive, and when he heard the talk of the little prince of the Li Mansion, he hurriedly pulled Ye Li aside and listened carefully to see if he could find any clues from it.

"Have you heard, the missing little son of the Li family has a whereabouts, he was killed by his deceased mother's personal maid, and his body was thrown into the river after being killed, and his bones are gone. The maid was arrested today, saying that Mrs. Li had slapped her for doing something wrong, she was dissatisfied, and she had always held a grudge, and after Mrs. Li passed away, she transferred her hatred to the little son, and this is why she committed this murder. ”

"Is that true?

"Naturally, what did I lie to you, but my cousin was on an errand in the Yamen, so he knew so clearly"

"I didn't expect a little maid to have such a vicious heart, but after being punished by some masters, she wanted to kill people"

"It's not, it's just that I pity the little son of the Li family, his biological mother died early, and his life is so thin"

"Shhhh Don't talk about it, how can it be a person we can discuss."

………………

Ye Qi and Ye Li glanced at each other, let's go to the yamen to investigate the situation first. At this time, the dynasty had already retreated, and the county government had returned to its usual desertion. "Wang Zhutou, it's all dealt with" A strong and powerful man with a full face hurried back, rubbing his hands, his face was pale, and his lips were still slightly trembling. "Well, well done" The king nodded and threw a piece of broken silver to him, and when the man turned to leave, he showed a disdainful smile and snorted coldly, "It's just throwing people into mass graves, and this kind of trivial thing is done in a cringe, and it can't become a climate thing." ”

Ye Qi and Ye Li were shocked, and after verifying, the maid was indeed the jade that the master was looking for, and quickly returned to the eldest princess's mansion.

After listening to the news brought by Yeqi and Yeli, Yun Jingyan raised his pen and replied to Yun Zi, finished the book, rolled the letter into a bamboo tube and sealed it, patted the head of the carrier pigeon, and the carrier pigeon landed on the fence and stopped, and flew away.

After receiving the letter, Yun Zi sighed softly in her heart, which relieved her worries. Cuiyu's girl is really loyal, and she refuses to let Mrs. Xianli's reputation be tarnished even when she dies, but says that she is ruthless and vicious, and she will repay her. Thinking, let's go see the little guy first.

In the Inviting Moon Pavilion, the little maid stood on the side of the door, holding a wool blanket in her hand, covering the little doll's body. Candles were lit and orange lights were reflected, and the little boy sat curled up at the threshold, his eyes cold, staring at the bare branches of the peach tree in the courtyard. Today, the little guy has washed his face, a little doll, with a small face carved in pink, and his light brown eyes are soaked in sadness, but maybe he has suffered a lot these days, and his body is too thin.

Yun Zi seemed to think of the time when she first saw this little doll three years ago.

Hearing the mourning news, Mrs. Li took Xiao Moran to visit Yunzi from the capital.

The girl was dressed in white, leaning on the peach blossom branch, and the peach petals fell on the white clothes. Under the tree there was a broken wine jar, the smell of wine overflowed, the girl closed her eyes slightly, as if in a light sleep, opened her eyes, a tear slipped down, down her somewhat pale cheeks.

"Sister Azi." Mrs. Li stood under the tree with a five-year-old milk doll, and the little milk doll called out to her in a milky voice.

Yun Zi hurriedly wiped her tears and jumped down from the tree, "Why is Aunt Li here?" ”

The little doll held the corner of her clothes and motioned her to squat, Yun Zi just squatted down, and was hugged with a full embrace, and with a milky little guy trying to take her into her arms, "Sister, don't be sad, Ah Ran will be sad when she sees it." ”

The little guy's voice was weak and glutinous, with a little comfort, as if it really calmed down a lot of sad emotions.

"Good! My sister got it. Yun Zi smoothed his soft hair.

"Zi'er!" Mrs. Li took her shoulders distressedly, why don't you go to the capital with your aunt? Your aunt will love you as if you were her own daughter. ”

Yun Zi took a step back slightly, and looked at Mrs. Li's eyes seriously, "I know that my aunt loves my kindness, but I can't go, and the Yun family can't be destroyed in my hands." ”

It's still the peach blossom tree of the year, but it's long gone, and now, it's time for her to take care of Xiao Moran.

Yun Zi suddenly felt a little distressed, squatted down, hugged the little guy into his arms, and stroked his hair lovingly as before, "Little guy, Sister Ah Zi will take care of you in the future." ”

The little doll lay in her arms and nodded gently, Yun Zi suddenly felt a heat in her ears, and heard a soft "Sister Azi".

A smile bloomed at the corner of her lips, the sun shone in front of her temples, making her face appear softer, the hand holding the person in her arms tightened, and sighed lowly, "The past cannot be admonished, the coming can still be chased." In the future, you will be called Yun Chasing."

The little doll nodded obediently, "Sister Azi, I wrote it down!" ”

"Okay, Ah Chai, it's cold outside, let's go inside, wait for my sister to help you get your household registration tomorrow, and then find a gentleman to enlighten you, and you can study." Yun Zi held a small cold hand

Walk around the room and bring the little man to the bed, "You can rest early!" With that, he was going to go out.

Suddenly, the corner of the clothes was pulled by a small hand, Yun Zi looked back, the little doll's eyes flashed with tears, bit her lip, and whispered

"Sister, I'm afraid alone, can I ...... Can I go and live with my sister. ”

The snow is still falling, and a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the trail. Yun Zi held an umbrella in one hand and led Yun Chai, and his shoes made a "creaking" sound when he stepped on the snow. Yun Chai lowered his head and obediently let his sister lead him.

Yunqi Juli had already set up the lamp, and the stove next to the couch was burning. Yun Zi didn't like to sleep with people, so the bed was big enough, so he ordered someone to get a new quilt and put it inside.

The little maid came in, added some coals to the furnace, took the lampshade, put out the candle, and withdrew. Soon, there was an even breathing sound in his ears, Yun Zi smiled, the children were really sleepy, he tucked the quilt corners, and also slept, tomorrow, he had to deal with the matter of household registration.
